Arundhati Mehta is an established and successful lawyer. Her husband Aditya Mehta, a businessman of textiles dotes on her. She also has an adorable mother-in-law who runs a domestic helpline service. Priyansh Mehta is her young and energetic brother-in-law who is studying computer engineering in the U.S.A. Hers is a contended and happy family.

Her marriage is well into its 13th year and on her wedding anniversary, her husband asks her to adopt a child as their wedding gift. The wife is disturbed and tells her husband that she hates children and has closed all doors to motherhood therefore. The husband reconciles and sends her a bouquet of flowers the next day at her office to express his apology. Arundhati is moved. Enters a brat by the name of Gomsi Mazumdar whose parents have been murdered and the papers are carrying news about the police having booked his governess for the murder. But the child is sure of the innocence of his governess and implores Arundhati to take the case.

But as she does not like children she refuses to accept the case. Just then she receives a phone from the public prosecutor Mr.Mrugank Shah, against whom she has just won a rape case and who insults her intelligence and capability and challenges her to win the forthcoming case against him. Arundhati is shocked by his arrogance and accepts the challenge and takes up the boy's case as Mr.Shah is the prosecuting advocate. When she comes home she is taken by surprise by her husband who has planned a vacation to Europe with the family. With a very heavy heart she refuses to go and once again there is a rift between the couple and her husband gets more disturbed when he learns that his wife has taken up a child's case and that too Gomsi's case which according to him is an open and shut case.

He is more hurt because she has categorically told him that she does not like children. He accuses her of neglecting him and his family and of only nurturing her ego and pride. Thus begin some tense moments between the loving couple. As the play proceeds Gomsi's life is in danger. Will Arundhati be able to save him? Will justice be earned? Will Gomsi be able to change Arundhati's perception towards children? Will the loving couple and family be happy thereafter?
